Number of Seats/Users: Exact for Project Management offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Exact for Project Management that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Exact for Project Management. Exact for Project Management reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Exact for Project Management offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Exact for Project Management. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Exact for Project Management often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase, our internal data shows that Exact for Project Management is generally seen as a solid, flexible tool, but one that often needs tuning and smart licensing to deliver full value.

Key positives our Spendbase clients highlight:

• Strong project visibility
• Easy access to all project data in one place
• Clear economic and management status of projects in (almost) real time

• Simple time and expense entry for staff

• Good integration and ecosystem

• Tight linkage with other Exact modules (Synergy/Globe) when properly configured

• Efficient data analytics when paired with tools like Qlik, once reports are set up

• Usability and adoption

• User interface is considered intuitive
• Fast onboarding and smooth day‑to‑day usage

• Company processes can be mapped without huge disruption

• Customization potential

• Built‑in flexibility to adapt workflows and document management
• Customizations, once done, tend to work very well and match business models closely

Main pain points our data surfaces:

• Extra effort and cost for customization
• Standard document management often doesn’t meet requirements out of the box

• Significant implementation time spent on tailoring the system

• Integration gaps

• Data sync between Synergy and Globe is not “natural” enough
• Duplicate data entry and manual checks create risk and admin overhead

• Clients expect more automation and consistency between modules

• Advanced planning and reporting complexity

• Resource planning for engineering teams is seen as one of the hardest areas
• Extracting very detailed reports (occupancy, % workload, vacations, sick leave) is possible but cumbersome and time‑consuming

From a Spendbase discount and cost‑optimization lens, this translates into:

• High ROI potential for organizations that:
• Rely heavily on project time and cost tracking

• Are willing to invest once in proper configuration and reporting

• Hidden cost areas to watch:

• Consulting and customization hours during rollout
• Extra admin time caused by non‑automated data flows
• Over‑licensing modules that are underused (for example, advanced reporting features some teams never touch)

In practice, our guidance is usually:
– Negotiate pricing with the expected customization and integration effort in mind
– Scope reporting and planning needs early, so you only pay for what will actually be used
– Aim for automation between Synergy and Globe to cut manual work and avoid paying twice in internal labor.
